The Weekly Sneak: You Are Who You Eat

First of all, a little notice. I am perfectly aware that the Frankenmonster of an opposition that we have is headed for a full-bull encounter with my stubborn and frightened state security system. There will be more than enough time, with Government The Fifth, to talk about it.

So this week was the second segment about weird future stuff that I am into and I made a mistake. I crossed the streams. I wrote about food! Ugh. It has not gone well, to be honest. I love food. I love tech (what I can understand about it) and I love sci-fi. Putting the three of them together for a staid, middle-aged regional newspaper though? Was not a good idea. I blame it on the fact that I have been watching Mr. Robot. Things will be better next week. In the meantime:

"The world can feed herself and have
plenty left over but we don't, because of politics and power.
Tanzania can feed herself and have plenty left over but we don't
because of politics, money and power. Well, you know what they say.
If you can't stand them, join them? Outside of the nefarious world of
terminator seeds there are interesting things going on with GMOs that
are worth some contemplation. Two recent innovations that are fun to
speculate about are the advances in 3-dimensional printing and the
manufacture of meat grown in laboratories."

See you next week and remember that we really are who we eat. That's not a grammatical error.
